The special bundling is tied with Maxis Value First 30 Postpaid voice plan (RM30/month) together with a choice of either 3GB (RM68/month) or 6GB (RM98/month) data plan. The Galaxy Note 10.1 can be yours for RM699 for 24 months contract of Value First 30 + 6GB (total RM128/month) and RM999 for 24 months contract of Value First 30 + 3GB (total RM98/month).

The Maxis One Club bundling makes you commit to RM30 worth of voice calls each month while the earlier Value Internet Plans are data only plans with calls being charged only if you make them. The offer is valid until 30th September and it is limited to one tablet per customer.

Not missing the Galaxy Note 10.1 party is Maxis, which now makes it all big 4 telcos in Malaysia offering the device. For Maxis, they are pairing the tablet with Maxis Internet Value Plan 50 & 75 which comes with 1.5GB and 3.5GB data quota respectively with a choice of 12 and 24 months contract. The Internet Value Plan 50 monthly subscription fee is at RM50/month while the Internet Value Plan 75 is at RM75/month.

The lowest bundled pricing of RM1,499 is tied with 24 months contract of Internet Value Plan 75. For those that seek the shortest tenure with the least data bundling, the Note 10.1 can be yours at RM1,799 with 12 months contract of Internet Value Plan 50.

As a special promo, Maxis is waiving off the advance payment for Maxis One Club Users which means you would just need to pay the device price during sign up. At the moment, there’s no mention how much the advance payment would be for other subscribers.

DiGi too has started offering the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 from as low as RM1,299. As usual, the lowest bundling price is tied with 24 months contract of its highest DG Smart Plan 88 which comes with 5GB of data.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is now available on U Mobile, followed by Celcom. The 10.1 tablet with S-Pen stylus is bundled with 3 plan options of U58 of 2GB, U88 with 3GB and MB128 with 20GB.

For U58, the Galaxy Note 10.1 can be yours at RM1,639 but with an upfront payment of RM348 required. Meanwhile the higher U88 is offering the device at RM1,439 with upfront payment of RM528. It gets a bit weird for MB128 broadband only plan where the device is offered at a lower RM1,431 but U Mobile is asking for a staggering RM768 upfront payment. This comes comes up to RM2,199 required during registration which is the same amount if you were to buy it outright. If looked at another way, it is like getting a retail Galaxy Note 10.1 that comes with free 6 months 20GB data plan. All contracts are tied with 24 months contract.

Celcom has revealed its Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 offering which can be yours from as low as RM1,388.

Celcom is also giving additional monthly rebates for the first 10 months, up to RM35 depending on plan type.

To recap on the specs, the Galaxy Note 10.1 runs on 1.4GHz Exynos Quad-Core processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. The 10.1″ LCD screen that does 1280×800 and it comes with 5MP main camera with a 1.9MP front facing camera. It also lets you make phone calls but you would need to use a headphones or bluetooth device. Out of the box, it runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with additional enhancements such as Multi-screen and other S-Pen enhanced apps for productivity.

Se to be unveiled to the Malaysian media on September 5, the Galaxy Note 10.1 brings Samsung’s unique S-Pen input to a 10-inch tablet form factor. It features a 1.4GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos processor first seen in the Galaxy S III and 2GB of RAM. Running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the Note 10.1 also comes with an array of S-Pen enhanced apps such as S-Note, S-Planner and multi-screen support making it an interesting device in the tablet market. Our pricing estimates put the device to cost around the mid-RM2k range outright for the 3G version.

Samsung Malaysia has confirmed that the Galaxy Note 10.1 is coming to Malaysia next week. The media launch is scheduled for September 5 which means that the device should hit store shelves in time for the weekend shopping crowd.

Pricing details are unavailable at the moment but from what we’ve gathered the Note 10.1 could sell for around the mid-RM2k range though we can’t confirm this at the moment.

You can also expect operators offering plans for the device. As it is, we can see Celcom and Maxis getting some offers ready for customers.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 brings Samsung’s unique S-Pen input to a 10-inch tablet form factor. It features a 1.4GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos processor first seen in the Galaxy S III and a generous 2GB of RAM. Running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the Note 10.1 comes with an array of S-Pen enhanced apps such as S-Note, S-Planner and multi-screen support making it a curious device in the tablet market.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 may look like another 10.1″ Android tablet but its S-Pen and extra multi-tasking features is making it a compelling device. To recap on the specs, it features the similar Samsung Exynos 1.4GHz quad-core processor from the Galaxy S III with a generous 2GB of RAM. It still runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich but comes with an array of S-Pen enhanced apps such as S-Note, S-Planner and multi-screen support.

To demonstrate its productivity features, Samsung has released an official hands-on video. One of the interesting features is “Multiscreen” which lets you view S-Note and other apps side by side. Not only this means you won’t need to switch between apps manually any more, but you are able to copy and drag items between windows. Just like the Galaxy S III, it also supports pop-up play where you can overlay your video playback on top of existing apps.

The S-Pen which was first introduced on the original 5.3″ Galaxy Note has been improved as well for the Note 10.1. If you don’t have a very steady hand, it now comes with assisted Shape Match and Formula match which automatically corrects or smooth-en your writing and illustration.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 has already been officially launched in the US and availability for our region should happen sometime soon. In terms of pricing, we would expect this to be priced above RM2,000, which is around the range of the ASUS Padfone.

Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Note 10.1 will hit store shelves around the world sometime this month. As far as we can gather, the worldwide availability includes Malaysia as well but we can’t confirm this at the moment. There’s also an LTE version coming later this year but obviously that’s not coming here.

Making its first public appearance early this year at the Mobile World Congress in February, the Galaxy Note 10.1 will come in two flavours – a WiFi-only version and a HSPA+ version. Both versions feature a 10.1-inch 1280×800 display with a pixel density of about 150ppi, a Samsung Exynos 1.4GHz quadcore processor (similar to the one in the Galaxy S III), 2GB RAM and Ice Cream Sandwich. In addition, the Galaxy Note 10.1 will also feature an S Pen stylus build by Wacom that promises more precise inking turning the tablet into a full-featured digitizer that is set to appeal to the artistic and creative set.

Three storage options will be available (16GB/32GB/64GB), all supporting expandable memory via microSD up to 64GB in capacity. There’s a 5MP rear camera with 1080p video recording and a 1.9MP front camera. A 7,100mAh battery promises about 9 hours of run time.

Interestingly, the Note 10.1 can be setup to call up any app when the S Pen is taken out of its silo. There’s also support for split-screen use, keeping two apps visible simultaneously; allowing you to browse the web and watch a video at the same time for example.

Other hardware goodies include a micro USB 2.0 port that support USB host which allows you connect standard USB peripherals, like a keyboard, to the device. There’s also an IR transmitter allowing you to use the device as a universal remote.

No official word on the pricing at the moment but based on what we’ve heard, the device is probably going to cost upwards of RM2k when it is available here. Expect operator bundling as well.
